The Jackson County Lady Panthers basketball team continues to ride a wave of early success this season, going undefeated thus far, and winning the Panther Tip-Off Classic with a win over area rival Banks County last week.

Next up for the Lady Panthers is a trip to Homer to again face the Lady Leopards on Saturday. Going into action on Tuesday, Banks County had a 2-2 record, having scored 151 points in those four games to 100 by Jackson County in three games.

The big key for the Lady Panthers against Banks County would appear to be in their defense, as Jackson County has allowed only 55 points to be scored against them, while the Lady Leopards have allowed 163.
Jackson County definitely has the historic edge going in, having won their three previous pairings prior to last Saturday’s tournament win.

Tip-off in Homer on Saturday is scheduled for 4 p.m.

The Lady Panthers started out last week’s Panther Tip-Off Classic on a high note on Monday night, as they defeated Tallulah Falls 53-7.

“We were able to get a lot of people a lot of playing time,” said coach Chad Pittman. “That included some folks who were able to play and build their confidence. I was pleased with everyone’s effort as a team.”

Freshman Ashley Lance led the Lady Panthers in scoring against the Lady Indians with 17 points, while Sophomore Alison Dias scored nine points on the night.

That moved Jackson County on to Tuesday’s championship game against the Lady Leopards of Banks County.
